THANKSGIVING
For a while now, every Thanksgiving, we would pack our bags, and board a questionably safe mini-glider and head off to one of the country's smallest runways. The hills of Tennessee were waiting for us and my brother was glad to see us too! We would crowd him with our cooking, our cleaning (my mother's cleaning) and re-decorating efforts. It was something I spent the better part of October and November looking forward to. Then we added water to our marriage, and poof! an instant family appeared. Suddenly the logistics of 2 boys, 2 pack-n-plays, 2 car seats, 2 novice flyers and one highly anxious mother was almost paralyzing, so we settled for 2nd string Turkey Day right here in Texas. This was our second annual Thomas Thanksgiving in Texas - and it was lovely!
I, however, am not in the business of cataloguing important moments in my family's life - apparently, so I have no photos. (sad)
CHRISTMAS
Hooray! Christmas is my favorite holiday - cliche, I know, but I can't help myself. This year we got the boys a little slide and we are a little embarrassed to say it is still in our living room. Luke was ecstatic about the slide, until he saw that Santa also brought him a ball. A new ball, and not just any new ball, a new RED back (we love red). Ball trumps slide? Maybe not for any other 21 month old but Luke? Yes. He was playing "bat-cat-ball" with the new balls before he even unwrapped them.
Andrew was slightly less impressed with the balls but was pretty taken with sophie - a squeaky giraffe teether that came highly recommended.
The rest of the pictures are not so great - it is more difficult than one might think, with two babies and two parents to take the time to capture moments. We will be better in the future (the pipe dream of the week).
